disable arrow keys on soft keyboard
#1
Hey,

I use wireless keyboards for my HTPC's (mouse disabled because its a trackball and sometimes throws the mouse cursor on the screen from keyboard tilt)

When ever I need to type and need to move the cursor back to the start of the text, the arrow keys on my keyboard just float around the soft keyboard on the screen. The only way to move the cursor back and forth in my text is to arrow to the arrow buttons on the soft keyboard and use the enter key to move the cursor, type then arrow back to the arrow buttons on the soft keyboard again to move the cursor back to the end to continue typing.

Slightly annoying.

Any way of disabling the soft keyboard? Or any other suggestions?

Cheers.

There are two options. One is to use this keymap: http://kodi.wiki/view/Alternative_keymap...of_buttons

The other is to use a nightly build (wiki) of the upcoming v15, where you can press "tab" to toggle the behavior of the arrows.

keymap is perfect, cant believe I didn't find it. Thanks.

got OpenELEC running on 3 HTPCs in the house, used by the whole family. So better if I stay away from nightly builds on those. But will play with it on my notebook.

Cheers.
